The work also briefly introduces the game concept, including a description of its individual components and their functions. To improve clarity, the thesis firstly reviews the literature related to educational methods, particularly didactic games, then the issue of usability, its significance, and application in product testing is presented. The research section of the thesis aims to subject the educational game to usability testing, examining the perspectives of both pupils and teachers on its use and identifying the most significant shortcomings, which are then addressed in a separate chapter. The research was conducted using the two most common methods used in general product testing, i.e., questionnaire surveys and interviews with users. The research results showed that the game is a welcome addition to teaching, with rules that are understandable for both pupils and teachers, evoking a pleasant feeling in them, and despite its gaming nature, maintaining a clear didactic purpose.

Mobile Game for Practicing English Vocabulary
Hubík, Antonín ; Kanich, Ondřej (referee) ; Dyk, Tomáš (advisor)
Cílem této práce bylo navrhnout a implementovat multiplatformní vzdělávací mobilní hru pro procvičování a rozšiřování anglické slovní zásoby. Hra je založena na pravidlech slovní kopané a jí podobných her se slovy a obsahuje režim online hry dvou hráčů proti sobě. Aplikace využívá platformu .NET, kde je implementována v jazycích C# a XAML. Činnost mobilního klienta závisí na vzdálených službách, které byly nasazeny s využitím vhodných cloudových služeb a integračních možností platformy Microsoft Azure. Verze mobilní aplikace pro Android byla publikována prostřednictvím Google Play v režimu přístupu pro testování a ozkoušena na uzavřené skupině uživatelů s vlastními zařízeními. Na základě zpětné vazby z testování byly navrženy možnosti dodatečných vylepšení v oblastech odstranění technických slabin a přidání nových funkcionalit.
